**Carina texted Addison in the middle of the night as she's feeding him **

Hi Addie it's Carina , just wondering when will Nico possibly get a lung transplant?
I'm scared to move him from one breast to the other one... sorry I'm being paranoid about that!

Thank you for everything!
-Carina!

**Maya went to the bathroom and came back to bed . She noticed that her wife was worried **

Hi my love, tell me what worries you!
Carina : hi Bambina , everything about him worries me... we don't know anything about what his biological mother did when she was pregnant with him.. he has breathing issues babe! I don't want him to die...
Maya : I know it's scary but Addison said it has a 98 % success rate...
Carina : yea I know but I can't shake the feeling of him never receiving new lungs.... I don't want him to be sick and stuck on a breathing machine for the rest of his life, however long it may be...

~~ Carina's phone shimmied ~~
Addison responded with

Hi Carina , it's totally normal to be scared, and everything is going as it should... I will dig deeper into who his biological mother was and see what I can find out... he actually has gotten up the transplant list now ... he's going to get a new pair of well functioning lungs... keep the faith... in the meantime just keep doing what you're doing ( that's taking excellent care of your children like you do so well) !
- Addie !

Carina replied to Addison

okay thank you!

** it's now SEVERAL HOURS LATER
BOTH MOMS ARE UP AND READY FOR THE DAY, Carina is giving Nico a bath , in the newborn bassinet and he apparently loves the bath... he smiles big and makes normal newborn baby noises... Carina sings to him all the time, every Italian song she knows... she's singing to him, Maya is making breakfast.... Carina finished giving Nicolas his bath ... still with the hospital pager nearby, the kids are nicely playing together, Chloe is playing the violin , Apparently he loves the sound of the violin... the kids all take turns coming up to the living room and talking to him, giving him lots and lots of love and kisses everywhere! He's almost a month old now! Carina feels like she carried him in her stomach for nine months.... That's how well he fits into the family's dynamic **

8h57 am

Carina : I'm really really terrified to move him around... babe .. and what if he doesn't come out of the operation? I'm not going to be able to keep myself up and survive the lost of another baby... I won't survive this, Babe!

** she was extremely emotional, rightfully so **

Maya : I understand that you are utterly petrified but we got to have faith that everything will be alright, he's not going to need an oxygen tank forever....  You need to rest your mind my love!
Carina : how do I shut my mind off?
Maya : you do so by taking a breath in and out and then you simply close your eyes... he feels better when he's on your chest babe,
Carina : but you need to bond with him too babe! You take him for a while... I have to go to the bathroom...
Maya : ok, fine!

** Both wives switched places, Carina did some housework after she went to the bathroom, while Maya was bonding with Niccolas ! **

Maya : who's mommy's pretty handsome boy?
It's you !!!  Ohhhh yes it is , ohhhh I know this tube is annoying I know I know, I'm so sorry bambino ! You're going to feel better soon, we promise you...

** she gives him lots of raspberry kisses on his stomach, as he just gotten out of the bath, Maya puts him in a beautiful little dinosaur onesie pyjamas and it's white with colourful dinosaurs everywhere, with RAWRS , and it says "I'm the absolute sweetest little baby dinosaur ever"
